Do not store SMDs where they are exposed to heat or direct sunlight. Otherwise, the packing ma-
terial may be deformed or SMDs may stick together, causing problems during mounting.
After opening the factory seals, such as polyvinyl-sealed packages, it is recommended to use the
components as soon as possible.
3
An alternative to soldering is the gluing of thermistors with conductive adhesives. The benfit of
this method is that it involves no thermal stress. The adhesives used must be chemically inert and
suitable for the temperatures arising at the surface of the termistor.
4
Pressure contacting by springs is required for applications involving frequent switching and high
turn-on powers. Soldering is not allowed for such applications in order to avoid operational failure
in the long term. PTC thermistors for heating and motor starting have metallized surfaces for
clamp contacting.
5
The leads meet the requirements of IEC 60068-2-21. They may not be bent closer than 4 mm
from the solder joint on the thermistor body or from the point at which they leave the
feedthroughs. During bending, any mechanical stress at the outlet of the leads must be removed.
The bending radius should be at least 0.75 mm.

Test Ua1:
Leads
Two 90 -bends in opposite directions at a weight of 0.25 kg.
The lead is bent by 90 at a distance of 6 to 6.5 mm from the thermistor body.
The bending radius of the leads should be approx. 0.75 mm. Two torsions of
180 each (severity 2).
> 0.5 mm = 10 N
0.5 mm = 5 N
